polntnent in Selecting Lytton.
The London Rabble Believed to be
Ready for a Disturbance.

DUBLIN, Nov. 2.-The Irish Prison Board
have directed that O'Bren wear the prison
uniform and be treated In every way as an
ordinary prisoner.
Mr. OBrien and Mr. Mandev,lla
were removed from Cork Jail this morning.
They left the prison under a strong escort OF
cavalry and mounted police for the Great
Southern & Western terminus. Persons who
saw Mr.. O'Brien pass through the streets
say he looked pale, but seemed In his usual
good spirits. Mr.. OBrien and Mr.. Mande-
vile were put into separate railway car
riages. Both wore their ordinary clothing.
In the train was a large escort Of armed pO-
lice, under command Of two district inspect
ors, and Captain Stokes. The train was a
special, and was destined for Tullamore,
Kings county 1t reached Tullamore about
1880 o'clock this morning, and Mr.. O'Brien
and Mr.. Vaudeville were handed over to the

all landlords or agents Of landlords, and It is
believed that the removal of the distin-
guished prisoners from Cork prison is due TO
the fact that on the visiting committee OF
that jail they had friends who by virtue Of
theirpositi0n would have been entitled 10
visit them.
An Unpopular Appointment.
LONDON, Nov. 2,-LOrd Salisbury, in APP
pointing Lord Lytton ambassador at Paris,
has done an exceedingly unpopular thing in
certain quarters. All sorts Of conjectures
are hazarded respecting Lord Salisbury's
motives, and some very base ones are i'm
puted TO him by the baser journals Lord
Salisbury knew. OF course. that Lord Lyt-
ton selection would raise a storm, and GER
talnly offend the Liberal Unionists whom he

70 believe Lord LyttOn the best man for the
post unless his political obligations 10 the
late vicerOy Of India are too heavy TO be re-
deemed otherwise. The appointment Is not
liked at the foreign Office, where Ii Is held
that an ambassador should have been chosen
from the diplomatists on the active list

The Emperor Williams continued illness
causes great anxiety throughout Germany.
The fact that the aged monarch does not
throw of the effects OF his cold so readily as
on former occasions. leads to apprehension
that his vitality Is becoming seriously i'm

prepared to return 70 Berlin from the South

The Calm Before the Storm.
The quiescenee Of the unemployed during
the past week or so must not be taken as an
indication Of the complete disappearance Of

All Sorts Of Opinions.
The Daily News, commenting on the arbi-
tration memorial. says that President Cleve-
lands reply to the British delegation. with
out absolutely committing MS government to
the establishment Of permanent tribunal,
shows every disposition to entertain the
scheme.
The Standard says 'The reply Of Presi-
dent Cleveland is lacOnic, and perhaps tri-
ile oracular, but we gather from the caution
exhibited that he does not see his way to the
immediate maturing Of such a treaty. The
deputati0n itself can scarcely have failed to

hopes"
